Mesas de cóctel

A cocktail table -- another name for a coffee table -- anchors the seating arrangement in the living room and provides a surface at the right height for drinks, books, and remotes. Size guidance: the table should be roughly two-thirds the length of the sofa and positioned 14 to 18 inches in front of it. Height should match or be slightly below the seat cushion height -- usually 16 to 18 inches. Storage cocktail tables with drawers, lift-tops, or lower shelves add function; glass and open-shelf designs make small rooms feel more open.

The right coffee table should be roughly two-thirds the length of your sofa, placed 12 to 18 inches from the sofa front, and at a height at or slightly below your sofa seat cushion. Getting all three of those measurements right makes the table feel intentional and functional; missing any one of them makes the room feel slightly off in a way that's hard to diagnose.

Lift-top coffee tables have a hinged surface that raises to desk or dining height -- useful for eating in the living room or working from the sofa. Storage coffee tables include drawers or shelves for remotes, game controllers, and everyday items. We keep both configurations on the floor at our showroom so you can test the mechanisms before purchasing.
